INFORMATION

Tangent is one of the most fundamental trigonometric functions. For a real angle between 0 and 90 degrees, the tangent of the angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle.

The above calculator computes the tangent value of an angle given in degrees or radians. Additionally, it draws graphs representing the tangent value of the angle. For angles between 0 and 90 degrees, it shows the tangent value on a right triangle; for values between -1000 and +1000 degrees, it displays the tangent value on the coordinate system; and for all angles, it represents the tangent value on the unit circle.

INPUT FORMAT

Available input formats are listed below.

• Integers (e.g., 3 or 27)
• Decimal numbers (e.g., 27.5 or 0.05)
• Fractions (e.g., 1/2 or 2.3/4)

WHAT IS TANGENT CALCULATOR?

Tangent calculator,

• Computes the tangent of an angle given in degrees or radians and
